Keisha Heart wants a real marriage to a man passionate, who talks, but she is unsure if she is lovable enough to get him.
Now when Keisha sang, she realized the toils and dangers of John Newton. He saw the suffering he wrote about. It was no theoretical songs. He was there in a way no person today can understand. Today's educators are renaming African-slaves, of the slave trade, "immigrant workers" as if they volunteered to travel to America in chains, squalor, as if women volunteered to be raped, men and women being starved, as if to obtain some economic opportunity. The song Amazing Grace showed how the slaves wanted to jump to the sharks following slave ships in the choppy Atlantic waters below. In compared to John Newton's problems, her problems were slight ripples. Worrying about how do I get there--married? Worrying, am I really a grownup unless I get and keep a man? Worrying why I keep myself fine looking and my hair straightened and done in this cute-girl-flip style. I don't have any real problems. I have a home and roof over my head, a decent middle-class job, two good children, and we eat three meals a day. I have good friends and associations. What am I complaining for? Fight off the negative vibes of the media and anyone else around you, Keisha girl! [more][Less]

The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man by James Weldon Johnson is the fictional telling of the story of a young biracial man, referred to only as the “Ex-Colored Man", living in post Reconstruction era America in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. The Ex-Colored Man was forced to choose between embracing his black heritage and culture by expressing himself through the African-American musical genre ragtime, or by “passing” and living obscurely as a mediocre middle-class white man.
The Ex-Colored man living in an all black community discovered three classes of blacks; the desperate class, the domestic service class, and the independent workman.
Johnson originally wrote The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man anonymously in 1912 by the small New York publisher Sherman, French, and Company. Brandon's decision to publish the novel anonymously stemmed in part from his sense that signing his name to a potentially controversial book might damage his diplomatic career. [more][Less]
